I think in the years i have had VZW, i have had like 3 dropped calls total!

since i got the storm last night i have had 6 dropped calls!! 5 times it dropped while i was trying to activate, and once just now on a conference call it said call was lost

anyone else experiencing this?

Nope. I've made countless calls on the Storm, never had a dropped call and never had a problem with my ear activating buttons on the screen either.

[Maliberti]

yes, on a 611 call last night, I have bad reception inside my house.

Mine drops calls too. Usually when I'm in an area - 2 or less bars. My 8830 would work in a black hole! Not sure why but I get great reception in MOST places.

BTW - how to you like your Storm compared to your iPhone 3G??? I compare notes w/ a guy that sits in an office next to mine all the time (iPhone user) and he hates that my Storm kicks the crap out of his "baby"!

[smarshall]

yep. drop em all the time. 8830 almost never did.

in an effort to be fair to this phone, i will reserve my comments for a week or so maybe.

the problem is im a new BB user, and i dont know how to do even the simplest things! For 4 hours the phone sat on my chest last night while i was begging for help on this forum .. it was very frustrating to say the least.

So id like to get to know it a little better, get everything tweaked and working right, and give it a fai shot ... then i will pass judgment. But overall i think its a decent device, maybe im just the moron haha

my VZW LG vx8350 clam would work in my apartment where i bounce from 0-2 bars and never dropped a call ... i guess this phone is not as stable on weak signals eh?

[jh4for5]

Agreed. .

[citi]

i have not dropped a single call

[Southern5]

i havent dropped any calls either.... unless im in a known dead zone

[suitedup07]

I've had verizon for the last 4 weeks, not one dropped call....AMAZING!

[Acorn]

no dropped calls here. i did hit mute twice with my cheek though

[juKe187]

I drop calls when in my room and the signal switches from 1XEV to 1X, the bars always say I have service, but yeah I hope this will be fixed.

[StorminMama]

Calls drop on me way more than they did with my Curve! They drop in my apartment and once I was in a friends car it dropped a call 3 times!

I am brand new to Verizon (from Sprint) so I can't compare prior Verizon quality. I have had three dropped calls so far which is a lot compared to Sprint.

My favorite dropped call was the one I received from Verizon after I had purchased the Storm. The guy was asking me questions about my satisfaction with the phone and its features (kind of a customer satisfaction survey) and right when he got to the "network" questions my phone lost the signal.


Oh well. Otherwise I am much happier with Verizon already than I was with Sprint for the last ten years.

I have started noticing more and more dropped calls. I am with Telus in Canada. I am running the leaked .103. Calls are dropped in places that are normally fine - ie. in my driveway with LoS to the nearest tower.

May be coincidence, but I think I noticed a couple times that my phone was either sending or receiving one or more text/email messages when the call dropped. Not sure though. Happened this evening on my way out of the house, and no messages. Dunno. I don't think this happened with earlier OS releases. Again, not 100% sure.

[ablueyedgurl]

Been with verizon for a long time (8 years?) never had problems with dropped calls

No doubt. Telus has been good to me (12+ years). Nothing like the last week or two for dropped calls. Looking at other OS right now - maybe the .106 hybrid...

[nasdrvr]

I have definitely had more dropped calls on the Storm. My Pearl and 8703 never dropped as many calls.

I drop calls all the time on the Storm, never on my 8830

[nasdrvr]

My wife just reminded me that the other night I was on call and my Storm didn't show any missed calls. I didn't receive visual voice mail until the morning. I had a fun time explaining to the client that I didn't get any missed calls.

I have not had a dropped call YET on my Storm. I have stayed with .86 since it is working well for me.

I have had just the reverse. My old phone, Non- Blackberry, dropped calls in places where my Storm now motors on through.

[kiltro]

I think I've had like 3 dropped calls since I got my storm in december.

[sinnerman]

That was one of the most annoying parts about the storm. I usually get full bars in my house but my calls would consistently get dropped. I backed up my data and reinstalled the OS hoping that would work but it didn't help. I just started using my wife's cell phone at home when I needed to make a call. We're on the family plan and she's never had a dropped call on her line in the last 6 years.
